Robert Marawa Parts Ways With Metro FM, But He Heard The News From Other People First

It was all so messy lately anyway.

Sports presenter and media personality Robert Marawa has confirmed on Twitter that he is leaving the SABC, but said he had to hear it from other people first.

When a fan asked Marawa earlier on the social media platform if he was indeed leaving, the presenter said, "I believe so... I had to hear via SABC personnel who received notice via internal mail... Go figure."

I believe so..... I had to hear via SABC personel who received notice via internal mail.... go figure.

The public broadcaster issued a statement on Tuesday saying it had decided to part ways with the 44-year-old after he repudiated the contract he signed with SABC Sport on June 6 2017. The SABC said several attempts to try and remedy the situation with Marawa proved futile.

Gauteng MEC for Education Panyaza Lesufi wished Marawa well and asked for him not to get lost in the broadcasting world.

Robert, you remain one of the best in the industry my only wish is that you must not be lost within the broadcasting world. U r indeed good https://t.co/xKOXk8RBXZ
